The ScoutCast – Episode 178 – Humbug

24 December 2015 1565 comments

‘Twas the night before Christmas when three bearded men, wallowing in mid-table mediocrity, collided via the magic of the internet to relay tales of Fantasy Football.

Settle down – the festive ScoutCast is upon us.

Like the “Three Ronniesâ€, Jonty, Andy and myself roll out the same old tried and trusted formula in the guise of an extended Christmas special.

We relive the painfully ordinary Gameweek 17, before girding our loins for another bout of community questions as the three us make woeful excuses for avoiding Ighalo, before debating whether the “Dullards” really have slain the “Maverick” Fantasy managers for good.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first aired live on our YouTube channel.

You can stream the full Google Hangout version via the larger player below, or sample the slightly more refined audio edit via this link or the smaller player.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Surman to Ramsey (bench Vardy) is in my thoughts and have another 2FT next GW, sound good?

    Leic play MC next GW (good away from home plus komps should be back) and Vardy maybe injured and on 4 yellows the reasoning.
